I suggest you watch the video and pay attention to your bipod and what the bench deck boards do to bump and twist your rifle. I suspect your ammunition is shooting just a little bit better than your current shooting situation allows. Maybe try shooting prone at least for a comparison group to see? Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.
When you have low ES & SD and big groups you should adjust your Seating Depth .Dont mess with Powder Charge..A Tuner will help also.Good Video. I Really Enjoyed it.
I love this rifle. Still trying to find tighter groups. I am happy with the 153gr A-Tips, but I think I should be able to get better groups. More to come moving forward. Thanks for watching!
Get a good rest, hard to shoot off a bi pod for accuracy , and try moving 3-4 gr. at a time till you find a good node. Then work on seating depths, till you find what it likes. My Bergara shoots large one hole groups at 100
Yes. I intend on doing that. But right now, I am still tinkering with this bullet. I have hundreds of the 147's and fully intend on doing a load development series with them! Thanks for watching!
Try seating shorter in 10 thou increments ( 5 thou would be better though) for a total of 50 thousandths shorter than what you were loaded to in this test. Something should stand out in that test, and if you need to you can then tweak seating depth around your best result. Good luck!
Hi, I recently got my 6.5 prc and want to load the same components as you, bur I noticed on hodgdon’s website that the max load for that combination is 55.0gr…..
I see an NRA placard on the post next to your bench, where is your eye protection? Low SD and Low SD does' not mean good groups. What will those groups look like at 600 yards?
Because I am testing accuracy while using what the rifle will be equipped with. I am aware that I can get better groups with a bench rest setup, but I do not shoot bench rest. I want my rifle to be mobile if need be.
@@mattsreloadingbench nice. I’ve been using ADG but I found a shop that has 100 Lapua for 60 bucks cheaper. Thinking of giving the lapua a try. How you like lapua . Wondering case capacity and how the primer pockets holding up
@@mikeh5908 well, I have had it where I start getting loose primer pockets after about 7 reloads. But, I am getting great ES and SD with my load development. I've been using Lapua for at least the last 6 years for a variety of cartridges.
@@mattsreloadingbench yeah I’m about 6 or 7 reloads on this ADG and they still tight but I’m definitely keeping a close eye. Had some nosier brass for 2506 last 3 reloads and primers were falling out. Expensive lessons learned in this hobby/rabbit hole. lol. Cheer man and thank for your videos and responses
I loved the 6.5PRC series so much and learned a few new things.Thank you Matt! Greeting from Germany
That is awesome!
Thanks for watching!

I will take a look

Absolutely! As I said at the end of the video, that is the next step in this load development.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this vid Matt. You ever tried shooting your groups “round robin” to reduce effects of barrel temp, wind, etc?
I have. But I get similar results. In between groups, I run a barrel cooler for a few minutes. It keeps everything pretty consistent.
Dude, I got that exact pew-pew. I love it. I think Berger got the 156gr out. All I can find lately is Hornady 147gr though. It's fine I guess.

I've already taken care of that. There will be videos coming out in the future.
can't wait to see the new video, @@mattsreloadingbench
Thanks, Matt!.... looking forward to your next video!! What primers are you using? (I forgot if you described what they were in an earlier video)
I am using the Federal 210. Which is the standard large rifle primer that is offered by Federal.
Holy crap 2900fps+ with 153gr bullet? Cool.. I’m chicken sheit going that fast
It's alot of fun!
Any plans to try a 147 ELD Match bullet rather than those Atips?
Yes. I intend on doing that. But right now, I am still tinkering with this bullet. I have hundreds of the 147's and fully intend on doing a load development series with them!
Thanks for watching!
Get rid of the Bi pod, good things will happen!!!
You are correct! At the time I shot this video, it is what I had available.
Try seating shorter in 10 thou increments ( 5 thou would be better though) for a total of 50 thousandths shorter than what you were loaded to in this test. Something should stand out in that test, and if you need to you can then tweak seating depth around your best result.
Good luck!
That is what I plan on
Hi, I recently got my 6.5 prc and want to load the same components as you, bur I noticed on hodgdon’s website that the max load for that combination is 55.0gr…..
I got my load data from Hornadys loading manual
I see an NRA placard on the post next to your bench, where is your eye protection? Low SD and Low SD does' not mean good groups. What will those groups look like at 600 yards?
You will have to check out the next video in this series.
Thanks for watching!
Who cares about the NRA? A bunch of derelicts.
Why do you shoot off a bipod to check accuracy. Try it without the sling swivel stud off a real front rest to prove out its true accuracy potential.
Because I am testing accuracy while using what the rifle will be equipped with. I am aware that I can get better groups with a bench rest setup, but I do not shoot bench rest. I want my rifle to be mobile if need be.
@@mattsreloadingbench I get it.
57.3 is way to narrow of a window..I'd look for something else
I actually got rid of the rifle all together. Starting over with something new.
what brass you runnin
Lapua Brass

@@mikeh5908 if you ever have more questions, let me know.
Thanks for watching!
The rifle kicks to the left every shot. Square up your shoulders a little more.
Thanks for watching!
It’s worthless to worry about SD on small batches like your shooting. Thanks for the video though.
Thanks for watching!
